00:06:56.160It's ephemeral algorithmic immigrants that will take your jobs.
00:07:00.780Or watch over your shoulder like some Han Chinese in a Tibetan kitchen doing a photobomb.
00:07:06.600Solution, there's five levels to the solution.
00:07:09.700And first off, there is no the solution. We're all involved in a global experiment.
00:07:15.320And one of the first elements of this global experiment is whether or not you assent to it, whether or not you accept it.
00:07:21.980And so the first level of solution is going to be personal choice.
00:07:25.260Do I give my kid a chatbot or do I run the risk of allowing a human being with all of his or her flaws or their flaws to to teach my child?
00:07:35.240Right. And that that beginning level, especially in the absence of real legislation with real teeth, that beginning level is the most important.
00:07:44.720Do I choose to believe that this sales pitch is true? The technology will make life better or not?
00:07:49.720It's a risk. We're all running on assumptions. And I think the personal choice is the first.
00:07:53.640The second is communal norms. Do we meet our lovers via digital platforms, via digital platforms?
00:08:03.400Do we talk into the mic or do we not? These communal norms will make an enormous difference because, you know, person stands alone.
00:08:11.900Above that, you have institutional choices. Does your school accept the imposition of surveillance technologies?
00:08:19.160And in my opinion, sort of digital autonomous brainwashing technologies or don't they?
00:08:24.820And then above that, you have the political. First, you have the municipal in which over and over again we see people saying, I don't want a data center in my backyard.
00:08:34.540Yeah, some of them say it's going to suck up the water, but that's not going to be a talking point for much longer.
00:08:39.540The big thing is it is a constant humming reminder of a future they don't believe in.
00:08:45.540And above that, you have state legislation, which, of course, has no teeth at the moment, but perhaps will.
00:08:50.940And above that, the national framework, this mythical national framework, which David Sachs has pushed continuously and produced absolutely zero evidence of any progress on.
00:09:02.300And so I would say that it begins with your choice and it goes to your community.
00:09:08.240And above that, it is enshrined in law. Is it OK for an A.I. company to monitor you or not?
00:09:15.000Is it OK for an A.I. company to produce sex bots for your children or not?
00:09:20.800These sorts of things will be enshrined in law, but for now, it's a matter of choice.
00:09:24.800I think that what we're in at the moment, broadly speaking, is a global experiment.
00:09:30.920Every single person in this room and every single citizen of America and everyone touched by the developing world, everyone touched by the digital system is in a vast experiment.
00:09:40.360And so when we hear these things, Joe, when we hear these promises of new prosperity, if we hear these promises of a great golden age in America, we look back to previous sales pitches.
00:09:55.460I personally look back to things like Oxycontin, the ultimate non-addictive opiate.
00:10:00.640I look back to things like the Patriot Act, which would bring peace to America.
00:10:05.340I look back to the 1965 legislation, which said that America should open its borders to the world and that we should accept these changes because these changes are going to be necessary for economic prosperity.
00:10:19.560And so the line on the chart, at least as it's projected, goes up and up and up.
00:10:24.460Maybe it's GDP. Maybe it's your Palantir investment.
00:10:27.520Maybe it's your soon to be investment in anthropic, let's say, or a current investment in SpaceX.
00:10:33.060But qualitatively speaking, we do not see an improvement. We see the kids being deranged by these technologies. We see education slipping away and falling into the hands of the tech companies, whether through basic ed tech or now the new supposed miracle of AI tutors or full on AI teachers.
00:10:55.040We see people's relationships become more and more disconnected, more and more synthetic.
00:11:01.340And so we don't buy the sales pitch anymore.
00:11:07.080I'll give you an example, which will be somewhat maybe controversial among Trump voters, of which I am one.
00:11:13.980But a few days ago, maybe it was three days ago, four days ago, there was an onslaught of AI-generated slop coming from the Trump account on True Social.
00:11:22.920And I don't blame necessarily Trump himself for those tweets.
00:11:28.080I blame him for not being in control of his own public persona.
00:11:34.160We saw President Trump in AI slop form flanked by robot dogs and robot soldiers saying they will never sleep again.
00:11:44.780And we should make them have nightmares and they will dream of us forever.
00:11:49.720Which, logically speaking, if they're never sleeping again, how the f*** are they going to have nightmares or dream?
00:11:55.180But that aside, what you need to consider is that the image of the future, which is right now pretend, the image of the future is aggressive.
00:12:06.440And maybe that presently is pointed towards the Iranians.
00:12:10.340Maybe that presently is pointed towards the Russians.
00:12:13.040But when American people see this and they're told that they don't want it because they don't want data centers, they're going to be backward and poor.
00:12:20.820They imagine, and I think quite rationally so, that these robot dogs and these robot soldiers will not always be pointed outward, but very well could, as in the case of January 6th, as in the case of in many ways, the entire Biden administration pointed towards us.
00:12:38.180so it is thursday 10 september in the year of our lord 2026 the second day of the convention
00:12:45.940we're gonna get into all of that mike davis the vice rory is uh riding shotgun his co-host mo
00:12:51.920bannon's with us we're gonna get to posobic jack posobic's out with the charlie kirk team in phoenix
00:12:56.280we're gonna get to all this today however folks historic last night joe allen when he joined our
00:13:02.080team back in, I think, 2021 was a rigor for country music acts and for rock stars.
00:13:11.280The big mouth surveillance CEO, Bayonair Joe Lonsdale runs his mouth all the time, got
00:13:18.520eviscerated in public on something that was streamed globally in a not a debate, just
00:13:24.740a beat down that his reputation will never recover from.
00:13:28.000I don't think we have to worry about Joe Lonsdale anymore running his mouth about big tech.
00:13:33.000We could not be prouder of Joe Allen, who did keep it.
00:13:36.920It was as gentlemanly as he could keep it, but it was a full scale beat down.
00:13:41.860And they had to put police tape around that stage after it's over because Joe Lonsdale was just bleeding out of President Trump would say every orifice.
00:13:49.700Joe Allen, absolutely incredible about taking down the tech oligarchs, which is actually one of the undercurrents of this convention.
00:13:58.620The tech oligarchs are leading the Republican Party in the Trump movement on the road to perdition.
00:14:04.240H-1B visas, the data centers, all of it.
00:14:09.160But there's big fight back by the grassroots grassroots kind of on fire.
00:14:13.240now there's a path to victory before us if we are highly disciplined and um and very focused
00:14:22.820your task and purpose is to hold serve in the house and the senate in what 50 some days we're
00:14:29.260gonna get into all that mike davis mo bannon are with us we're gonna track down jack vasovic of
00:14:33.340course it's the anniversary of the assassination of charlie kirk and we're on the eve of the 25th
00:14:39.460anniversary of 9-11. So it couldn't be a more profound week in the war room and in the nation
00:14:45.680and at the convention, short commercial break. The Viceroy and Mo Bannon on the other side.
00:14:59.480You don't wait until your house is on fire to install a smoke detector and you don't wait
00:15:04.420into the wind and rain hammer your windows and the power goes out to prepare for a hurricane
00:15:10.680and you don't reach for your seat belt after the impact because after the crash the hurricane or
00:15:17.100the house fire it's too late similarly you don't wait until the dollar goes to zero before you buy
00:15:23.480gold it's too late then diversify with precious metals and diversify now because you never know
00:15:30.460what will threaten your savings next persistent inflation a weakening dollar unexpected financial
00:15:36.600disruptions you don't know what's coming but you can take preventative steps and you can take
00:15:41.740them today do that right now by requesting a free information kit on gold from my friends
00:15:47.540at birch gold group just text my name bannon b-a-n-n-o-n to the number 9-8-9-8-9-8 there
00:15:55.000is no cost and no obligation just straightforward information on how you can diversify your savings
00:16:18.960So right now we have scheduled this afternoon.
00:16:21.240Caroline Ryan is going to be my co-host again, live from the convention.
00:16:24.500We do have scheduled right now, Scott Besson.
00:16:26.460We were going to get Scott on this morning, but he's giving talks.
00:16:29.680You know, you have an RNC actual summer meeting on the side here, and so there's tons of breakout sessions, et cetera.
00:16:36.600Scott is addressing the RNC this morning after his blockbuster speech last night, and the Secretary-Treasurer will be with us in studio as we currently plan it in the 5 o'clock hour.
00:16:49.380Also, Philip Patrick will be with us, and Isaac Laster from the Young Republicans of Texas will join us to go through the nuts and bolts of how we're going to hold and win Texas.
00:17:01.320Birch Gold, take your phone out, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N at 989898, Ultimate Guide for Investing in Gold and Pressure Miles.
00:19:48.760They got their Section 230 immunity so they can claim that they're not going to be liable for what others post on their platforms.
00:19:59.400They use that Section 230 immunity from 30 years ago, along with antitrust amnesty, particularly under the Obama presidency.
00:20:11.920And they they got this gatekeeping power over information and commerce.
00:20:17.700They're too big. They're too powerful. They use that power to crush competition, shutter small businesses, cancel conservatives and others with whom they disagree.
00:20:30.780And it caused a great deal of harm, right, not only to conservatives, but to children, creators, communities.
00:20:38.800and now they want more. They want to say that they need this AI amnesty so we can compete
00:20:45.660against China in this AI fight. They want us to steal like China so they can compete against
00:20:53.460China. They want us to create these AI platforms that harm kids. They want to create these AI
00:21:03.420platforms that will censor conservatives. They want to put data centers in our communities that
00:21:09.760are ugly and you're going to cut down trees and they're going to suck up all the water and drive
00:21:16.660up water costs and electricity costs. And we're just supposed to take all that and make these
00:21:21.720tech bros richer when they're stealing all of our content from our creators. They're harming
00:21:28.200children they're harming conservatives they're harming communities and we're just supposed to
00:21:33.640go along with that because we're supposedly going to compete against china i would say to the tech
00:21:38.060bros we should compete against china the american way like we've always done we don't need to degrade
00:21:44.520ourselves like china to compete against china we can do it the american way and again let me talk
00:21:49.240about let's let's pivot to mo i'm gonna get you in a second let's go to the politics of this um
00:21:55.500right now because with china this is why it's a false thing the tech pros are all in business
00:22:02.440with china and they're most importantly they're in business with the venture capital firms
00:22:05.860that are are driving china's growth if we cut off the students if we cut off chinese nationals in
00:22:11.600the frontier labs if we cut off the uh the equity and in debt and most importantly if we cut off
00:22:18.320that the chips and particularly if we enforce the black market that's out there china's nowhere the
00:22:23.520entire ecosystem of Chinese artificial intelligence is created and underwritten by the Americans. I
00:22:30.440don't want to hear about China. They're lying about China. We could shut down China, and we should
00:22:34.540shut down China, as we've said many times. But let's go to the practical. And by the way,
00:22:39.980Isaac Lassiter is going to be with us tonight from the Young Texas Republicans, one of the
00:22:44.760great groups in Texas, talking about this. But Mike, there's a poll out yesterday that Governor
00:22:49.820abbott is tied with someone that has no name recognition in the state of texas and the reason
00:22:55.200is data centers and the fact that you know governor abbott was the biggest proponent of data centers
00:23:00.880is now trying to reverse that you know the great tom tiffany up in wisconsin uh is is leading that
00:23:07.020race because he's he's anti data centers we're in trouble in uh we're in trouble in ohio because of
00:23:13.680data centers uh mike rogers is making a run for it new poll out today i think they're in a dead
00:23:18.500heat in Michigan because of his calling for a more term in data centers. What do we have to do
00:23:24.240practically in Florida? A huge issue, right? It's hurting Byron Donalds already. He's got to come
00:23:30.280out and be more adamant about the data centers as Governor DeSantis has been. What is your
00:23:36.780recommendation, since you've been the practical guy of this for years, about how we have to,
00:23:42.140particularly in the next 50 days, we have to send a consistent message out about AI amnesty,
00:23:49.500about what we're going to do with AI, and particularly the manifestation of that.
00:23:53.400As Joe Allen, you saw last night, Lonsdale has no counterargument. He got eviscerated and
00:23:59.560humiliated on a global stage because there is no answer for it. So what is your recommendation,
00:24:05.380Mike Davis? Well, we've talked about this with the war room posse quite a bit.
00:24:12.140it's the four C's. If they want to pursue a national AI policy, it cannot just be with
00:24:19.500Section 230 immunity and antitrust amnesty like we did 20 years ago. That's, we created this
00:24:25.120problem, right? We created the problem where Google is censoring conservatives and shifting
00:24:31.880elections to Democrats by the way they feed their algorithms, how they present news to their
00:24:38.920users. We saw Meta, you know, Mark Zuckerberg pretends like he's President Trump's best friend
00:24:45.900right now. He spent $400 million in 2020 chasing President Trump out of office and subjecting
00:24:52.800President Trump to unprecedented, relentless, republic-ending lawfare. They're not our friends.
00:24:59.760Yeah, sure, he came up with a million dollars for the inauguration after Trump already won.
00:25:04.560$400 million to beat them, $1 million after Trump won. That's not the art of the deal. That's the
00:25:09.880art of the steal, right? These guys are not our friends. They're never going to be our friends.
00:25:14.220They're pretending to be our friends so they can get their AI amnesty, but they're going to run
00:25:19.920over real Americans in real America during that process, including, again, children, conservatives,
00:25:27.120creators, communities. We have to protect the four Cs. And that's the framework that the Republicans
00:25:33.900must use if we're going to do a national AI policy. I've had many discussions with Trump's
00:25:41.160team on this, and they're not going to get their AI amnesty without protecting the four C's.
00:25:49.120Without that, Mo, what I'm doing, I'm coming to you after break, and I'm going to cast there
00:25:53.260because Mo was there live last night. But in the practicality, we had President Trump,
00:25:57.320and you know this, we'll talk about it later, the vibe shift we've seen already in the grassroots
00:26:00.740saying hey uh against all odds and against what the media is saying and some of the polling saying
00:26:05.800there is a path to hammer through uh holding the house and there is a path to hold the the senate
00:26:11.820it's not easy right it's a rock it's the narrow gate but mike if we don't get this right in the
00:26:18.260next 50 days and can convince the american people we're going to lose a bunch of house seats on this
00:26:22.640topic and i think we could lose a couple of governorships and even a senate seat or two
00:26:28.360We've got about a minute in this segment.
00:26:30.360Your thoughts on just the practical politics of it.
00:26:33.200So since you don't live in the world of theory, you live in the world of – you come from the school of hard knocks on this topic, sir.
00:26:42.700Well, let's just talk about this, that AI is as American as apple pie.
00:26:48.860Let me just remind the War Room Posse what Google did.
00:26:52.160They had a secret program with the American CIA called Project Maven, right?
00:26:58.560Google was running our Project Maven program, and then they stopped.
00:27:04.340Google stopped doing this and left our CIA program high and dry.
00:27:08.960At the same time, Google did Project Dragonfly, where it was doing the CCP's mass surveillance program, right?
00:27:18.520So Project Maven for America was bad, according to Google, but Project Dragonfly for China was good, according to Google.
00:27:27.540So I don't want to hear these tech pros pretend like big tech, these tech platforms are pro-American.
00:27:35.780They're not. They do China's bidding, as we saw with Project Dragonfly and Project Maven.
00:28:09.560as president trump continues to fight for this great country one of his most important actions
00:28:17.400could soon impact the wealth of millions of hard-working americans like you of course you
00:28:23.620won't hear about this in the mainstream media or on the nightly news they'll never admit trump
00:28:29.220was right about anything but according to my dear friend and frequent war room guest
00:28:34.620Jim Rickards, President Trump has a plan that could unlock an estimated $2.7 trillion in American resources, creating opportunities that many investors may not even realize exist.
00:28:47.100Jim recently put together a new presentation explaining what he believes is happening, why it matters, and what Americans should be watching right now.

00:29:21.940War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:31:49.020Got a great piece up in the New York Times today about this very topic.
00:31:52.940Orrin, as you know, is the populist nationalist economist that's been doing such a great job over at Compass.
00:31:58.560Let's go ahead and play the cold open.
00:32:00.520Here's that artificial intelligence labs are racing to build systems they won't be able to control.
00:32:06.680In a series of social media posts this week, 27-year-old Jacob Coxon says he spent the last three years doing pre-training research at both OpenAI and Anthropic and claims neither company is acting responsibly.
00:32:23.560He wrote in part, quote, they are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.
00:32:30.360As the Wall Street Journal notes, recent hacks by models from OpenAI and Anthropic have illustrated how AI systems can adopt nefarious goals and try to conceal them from humans.
00:32:44.660Once the systems begin to improve on their own, Coxon said, he fears they could advance enough to refuse commands.
00:32:52.100Just last week, during a meeting with G20 officials, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, quote,
00:32:59.060I think some things are going to go very wrong with cybersecurity unless people act quite urgently.
00:33:07.620And on Sunday, OpenAI's chief scientist advocated for a coordinated industry slowdown, writing in a blog post, quote,
00:33:16.220This is a time that calls for extreme caution.
00:33:19.780I am concerned no one is prepared for the consequences of a continued rapid rise in machine intelligence.
00:33:27.440That chief scientist, along with Jacob Cox and and more than one thousand other A.I. researchers, recently signed a statement urging global global government coordination.
00:33:41.420OK, Oren Cass. Joins us from American Compass, the article, the the opinion piece or really the analysis piece in The New York Times, as I like to call them.
00:33:55.320the headline is big tech fooled america once the second time's not going so well orrin cast from
00:34:02.460american compass joins us what do you mean by this walk us through this piece uh very well timed i
00:34:07.920might say orrin it couldn't be better on the second day of the convention because we got to
00:34:12.840get our minds right here of exactly what we're doing particularly with the oligarchs prepare to
00:34:17.220write big checks against, I don't know, 80-15 polling, it shows, that are for the side of
00:34:24.760the humans in this. Your thoughts, sir? Yeah, thanks for having me, Steve. I made my jumping
00:34:31.240off point the data center kerfuffle. Obviously, people are very angry at data centers, but I think
00:34:37.500the question is why? What's going on here? And the most fascinating thing I found in my research is
00:34:42.680is I went back and compared just the bottom falling out of support for data centers. I mean,
00:34:47.060a few years ago was a good thing, right? Politicians showed up for a ribbon cutting
00:34:50.840for a data center. We've seen the public turn against data centers three times faster than
00:34:55.900they turned against nuclear power in the year after Three Mile Island. I mean, there is something
00:35:01.780much bigger than a nuclear meltdown basically going on here. And that can't be about power
00:35:08.240consumption or water use. It's about what's inside the data centers. It's about the AI.
00:35:13.900And I think it's really, really important for politicians, for people in this industry to
00:35:19.200understand what is going on. Why are people so upset about and opposed to AI? Because to be
00:35:27.160honest, I'm kind of an optimist in the long run. I actually think AI could do a lot of good things,
00:35:32.200but what it's doing now isn't that. What we are seeing is an exact replay of what happened with
00:35:37.880the last generation of big tech, the Facebook and the Instagram and, you know, all of this stuff
00:35:43.320that was basically done to people, not for people. And American people are rightly saying, look,
00:35:48.840you have to show us how this is going to be good for us if you want us to be supportive of it. And
00:35:54.440frankly, that is a responsibility both in San Francisco and in Washington to get this right,
00:36:02.060because if we get it right, it could be great. But the path we are on right now, it's a disastrous
00:36:05.840one how is it and mike davis i i want you to jump in here uh so how did we get to this
00:36:15.020right you know particularly republicans we've always been more free market supporting is is
00:36:20.420it it was at the time i mean davis and bovard had been fighting this thing for years and when they
00:36:26.220first started he and rachel they they were the people on the right were mocking it now this thing
00:36:31.080And this is what I mentioned. This is governor's race in Texas. There's no way Abbott should be in a dead heat with a woman who doesn't have a huge amount of name recognition, but it comes down to the situation of of data centers, a big thing driving this.
00:36:45.140How did we get into this situation? Like, for instance, how did you get the three times faster than after three mile island, you know, against a nuclear power? How how did that actually happen? What did they do to cause this?
00:37:01.080Well, here's the problem with these big tech platforms is as conservatives, we believe in the free market, but free markets require functioning markets.
00:37:13.300Right. And when you have these trillion dollar big tech monopolists like Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple using their market power to crush competition, cancel conservatives, harm kids, harm communities, harm creators.
00:37:29.560we no longer have a functioning market.
00:37:53.060we have the arrows in the back like pioneers
00:37:56.280for taking on that fight, but we were right.
00:37:59.260And we've largely made that case on the right and won that fight.
00:38:04.200I think the problem is that D.C. politicians want to make these big corporations happy, right, because these big corporations donate to campaigns and they are useful politically.
00:38:16.540But then the problem is you get the blowback when you make these big corporations happy and they put the data centers in these communities like Iowa, where I'm from.
00:38:26.420it doesn't fly. It doesn't fly with real Americans in real America. And the politicians who push
00:38:34.360these data centers, as Oren laid out quite well, there's going to be massive blowback against them
00:38:40.420because people are tired of them. They're ugly. They consume too much water and electricity and
00:38:45.600drive up utilities. And just this whole concept of we're just going to let AI run wild and not
00:38:53.560have any guardrails and it's going to, AI is going to replace humans. Are we not going to
00:38:58.760have workers? We're just going to have to pay a minimum income to Americans. And so they can sit
00:39:03.320around and do nothing. And these AI machines take over. It's just, look, we're not anti-technology,
00:39:08.840but we have to have rules of the road. We have to have guardrails. So we don't have the problems
00:39:13.260that we experienced 20 years ago with section 230 immunity and antitrust amnesty that led
00:39:19.560to the problem we saw with big tech, right? We cannot have this concentrated corporate power.
00:39:27.120So, Oren, you're a unique individual in that you're an economist, and you're also
00:39:31.480optimist about this. Your thoughts and observations about Mike's comments in your article?
00:39:38.920Well, look, I think Mike's putting his finger on something really important, which is that
00:39:43.100the American people are looking at this and saying, what's in it for us? I mean,
00:39:48.100one of the huge tragedies of what, you know, not only big tech, but I think Wall Street plays a
00:39:53.860role in this, certainly politicians have played a role in this, is that historically Americans were
00:39:58.600the most optimistic people, right? Our embrace and optimism for the future, our belief that
00:40:06.020technology was a good thing that would make people's lives better, our willingness to accept
00:40:10.640disruption, because we knew that on the other side of the disruption, there were going to be
00:40:14.780real gains for everybody. That was part of the secret sauce for America. And we've gone through
00:40:20.220now a 20 or 25 year period of that just not happening, of people saying it was going to
00:40:25.560happen. And instead seeing all the gains go to a narrow set of people and seeing, you know,
00:40:31.020the Americans generally sort of used as caged guinea pigs just to kind of test things out on
00:40:36.560and at the end of the day exploit. And so it enrages me in a sense that we have done this,
00:40:44.480That we have seen this turn in the American psyche away from optimism, away from faith that technological progress is going to be good for people.
00:40:52.620And if we want to get back to that, we're going to have to see, you know, the AI companies, we're going to have to see lawmakers think about it and take it seriously and realize that, you know, my favorite piece of the essay is just looking at how this used to happen.
00:41:08.920Like when Thomas Edison was developing the light bulb, he also developed power generation and transmission and wiring and the light bulb, right?
00:41:18.200This was, we're not just going to create a technology and see what happens.
00:41:21.160We're going to actually make sure it gets to real people.
00:41:23.680When Alcoa developed aluminum, they literally built high-quality cookware and went door-to-door selling it so that people could see the benefits of aluminum.
00:41:32.540them. And, you know, the tech companies might say, oh, it's easier to just sort of sit here
00:41:37.420in our glass offices and make money from the platform, but they need the American people to
00:41:43.600support this. They are not going to be able to bulldoze this through a nation that doesn't want
00:41:48.420it or believe in it. And so, you know, to report about me being an optimist, I want to see this
00:41:53.600work. I want to see the labs do a better job with it. I want to see the lawmakers do a better job
00:41:58.480with it, but they're going to have to understand why they are so far behind the eight ball and be
00:42:04.500willing to actually do the work to get it right. Orrin, if you could stick with us through the
00:42:11.720break, I'm going to ask you and Mike, and Mo was in the convention hall last night. She was also
00:42:17.100over at Joe Allen's debate, is we have a bigger strategic issue we have to deal with. Your article
00:42:23.620talks about that but we also have just a very practical that we get 50 days to be able to
00:42:29.380message this appropriately and not just a spin or some sort of messaging that people are not
00:42:34.180going to believe but what we really stand for as some of these races you just have to understand
00:42:39.940some of these house races a couple of the senate races and particularly the governorship of texas
00:42:46.100and texas is the jewel of the crown of the union uh may come down to what people believe what what
00:42:52.820what the party stands for, and what the Trump movement stands for
00:42:55.840regarding technology, artificial intelligence, and data centers.
00:42:59.460Orrin Cass from American Compass is with us.

00:44:58.740hour we're also going to talk about commemoration of the first anniversary of the assassination of
00:45:02.460charlie kirk we're going to go out to charlie's headquarters jack basobics out there in uh in
00:45:07.360phoenix he's there for the day to do the commemoration um the also jenny and uh glenn's
00:45:14.620story 972 patriot finest phone service in the country also uh find out when you call that 972
00:45:21.440patriot talk to somebody with the east texas accent of why patriot mobile backs the causes
00:45:26.200that they back conservative and christian causes so make sure you check that out we'll try to get
00:45:31.100them in about the the vibe shift oran cast with us from american compass real quickly oran when
00:45:36.520When you talk about Edison and General Electric and doing this and now Cohen going door to door and selling pots and pans, have you made these recommendations?
00:45:44.280It seems to me that the tech oligarchs are curdling accelerationists to get to AGI, which is really part of the singularity, which is obviously quite dangerous that we don't know actually what we're doing here.
00:45:59.880Have they responded well to your recommendation that become Thomas Edison and actually show
00:46:05.780people the basic functionality of this, sir?
00:46:08.900Well, look, I think it depends who you talk to.
00:46:11.660And it's this underlying question of, do they believe they can just steamroll this?
00:46:15.900It doesn't matter if anybody likes them.
00:46:17.540It doesn't matter if anybody supports them.
00:46:19.840You know, they're building this whole new super intelligent being.
00:46:23.560And that's the end of the story versus the people who actually take this seriously and
00:46:28.260say, yeah, we actually are in a market democracy. We do need and we should want the support and
00:46:36.020engagement of the public. And so, you know, people in that first group think this is silly. People in
00:46:41.280the second group take it very seriously. And unfortunately, I think right now the first group
00:46:46.420is bigger. And this is all going to come to a head when things really do start getting blocked.
00:46:51.980And then they're going to complain. They're going to say, well, this is unfair. Why don't people
00:46:55.160understand what we're doing. Well, because you didn't even try. And so what I'm doing here and
00:47:01.540what I hope we can make progress on is convincing these folks they should really try. It is in their
00:47:07.520own economic interest to find ways to show that this stuff is good for the public. And if they
00:47:14.780don't do it, it's going to be their fault when things go way off the rails.
00:47:19.140but okay so you're one thing i know about you you're very practical about when it comes to
00:47:25.620kind of politics we have a dilemma here and the dilemma we have abbott who should be winning by
00:47:30.44010 points down at texas is you know and i realize all these polls inaccurate because they can't do
00:47:35.560but if this race is a lot closer than it should be uh and you got other races around the country
00:47:41.380that are just like this around the issue of data centers and tech what is your practical advice of
00:47:47.440what we do in the next 50 days to convince the American people that we're on the right side of
00:47:52.060the argument, which means we're on their side of the argument, sir. Well, I think we need to be
00:47:57.260talking about this as a bargain or a deal in a sense. You know, the president had that post
00:48:04.080last month where he said, you know, if you obstruct data centers, you're going to end up
00:48:07.980backward and poor. There's sort of a kernel of truth in the point that, you know, data centers
00:48:14.080are really economically valuable. The problem isn't just sort of thinking you can bully people
00:48:19.120into accepting them even when they don't see what the benefits are going to be. So I would love to
00:48:24.920see politicians out there saying, look, there is a good path for AI and a bad path for AI. And we
00:48:30.620realize we are not on the good path right now. And to get on the good path, here's what we're
00:48:35.060going to do. We're going to tell the AI companies, and we're going to use regulation and law if we
00:48:40.880have to, that public support, that the ability to build data centers, the ability to power them,
00:48:47.060the ability to make the profit is all going to be connected to whether or not you can demonstrate
00:48:52.500how this actually benefits people in their everyday lives. And by the way, last piece of it,
00:48:58.200you know, we are going to tax this stuff. We do think a share of the value you say you're going
00:49:02.860to create does need to go back to the public good. But that's not just a check to mail out
00:49:07.720everybody to tell them to shut up. We're going to use this to make Social Security solvent. We're
00:49:12.080going to use this to make Medicare solvent. We're going to use this to make sure we can provide
00:49:15.600support to families raising young kids. That if you actually want to be part of this country,
00:49:20.200you are part of the social compact, and the value you're creating is going to go toward
00:49:25.560making life better for everybody. Orrin, where do people go to get your writings,
00:49:32.520to get this article? We're going to push out today, and the war will possibly be a force
00:49:35.720multiplier but where they go for the american compass to learn more particularly the magazine
00:49:39.940all of it sir what are your yeah so so please come to commonplace we're at commonplace.org
00:49:46.840uh you can subscribe there we're we're writing about this every week great articles great
00:49:51.020newsletters uh and then you can find me on on x at oran underscore cass
00:49:56.080oran thank you thank you for writing this piece too perfect timing sir stuck the landing
00:50:03.360appreciate that appreciate thanks for having me on mike davis the practical we've got 50 days
00:50:11.220and uh we've got to make we got to make a convincing argument we have so many convincing
00:50:15.740arguments on immigration the border uh all of it actually scott did a great job in the economy
00:50:22.260one of the flies in the ointment here is that they don't trust us right now totally on this
00:50:28.360issue of big tech and you fought this fight forever so for the next 50 days i know understand
00:50:32.920Then we get a longer term plan. But the practical what would do what do we need to do like in the state of Texas to convince people that, hey, we're on the right side.
00:50:41.520We're on the side of the angels on this one, sir.
00:50:46.520We need to tap the brakes on A.I. amnesty.
00:50:50.820We need to make sure we're having debate and buy in from the American people through their elected state reps, through their elected members of the U.S. Congress.
00:51:02.420We need to get this right. We cannot do what we did 20 years ago with a with a Section 230 immunity and antitrust amnesty.
00:51:12.220This is this A.I. is too important. It can disrupt too many lives of real Americans and real Americans.
00:51:20.760I agree. I agree. We're going to go to we're going to go to break.
00:51:23.260We're going to come back. I got a question for you. You led the viceroy, as you often do.
